Chapter 1080 Phantom
Just as Huan Yin and He Laowu were talking about Shadow Lord, on the top of the mountain, in a very solemn and murderous army tent.
At this moment, seven or eight generals of the Western Eight Heavens were sitting down below. And above them, a pair of skeletons with ghostly lights flashing in their eye holes were lazily holding their white bone chins and sitting there casually.
The skeleton was the current supreme commander of the Western Eight Heavens army, the Grand Marshal Ku. And it is not difficult to imagine that this army tent was Ku's marshal's tent.
Ku never spoke, and some generals even doubted whether Ku could speak at all. And those generals, since Ku summoned them here, no one has said a word from beginning to end. In the somewhat sluggish atmosphere, it seems that two words are being nurtured-wait.
Most of the leaders of the Western Eight Heavens army gathered here. What kind of existence are they waiting for?
After a while, finally, as the curtain of the military tent swayed gently, a shadow appeared at the entrance of the military tent, and it gradually lengthened as time went by.
Obviously, someone came from outside. The shadow arrived before the person.
However, it was not until a human-shaped shadow had completely appeared in the military tent that everyone realized that things did not seem to be as they imagined.
The shadow had arrived, but the person was not seen.
However, no one in the field thought it was strange. Everyone seemed to know where the shadow came from and was very familiar with it.
The curtain of the military tent was completely covered again, and the shadow floated to the middle of the military tent by itself. After stopping, it made a sound: "I, the phantom general, greet the marshal and meet the generals."
The voice was a woman's voice, sweet and pleasant, but if you listen carefully, you will always feel a bit of gloom. And the tone of the woman's voice was not small. In addition to being respectful to Ku, she only said "meet" to the other generals, but did not bow.
This shadow is actually the current leader of the Western Eight Sky Intelligence Department, Phantom. Phantom is directly under Ku, not under the control of any other general, and his status is almost equal to that of the general. Some people even say that Phantom's intelligence department is more valued by Ku than the troops of the generals. Therefore, Phantom's greeting now seems arrogant, but it is actually appropriate.
Phantom is just a shadow, without a human body, and the generals have long been accustomed to this. Phantom has been like this since they first saw Phantom. In fact, apart from hearing Phantom's voice and guessing that she is a woman, they don't know whether Phantom is a man or a woman, and what she looks like. Some people say that Phantom's details, like her intelligence department, are only known by Ku.
After Phantom's greeting, Ku, who was in the first position, finally made a move. He sat a little straighter, and then aimed his eyes, which were flashing with a faint light, at the shadow on the ground.
The Phantom's voice appeared again: "My Lord, are you asking me how the investigation of the patrol envoy is going?"
After a moment of silence, the Phantom continued: "I am incompetent and still cannot find out the specific identity of the patrol envoy. However, I have always sent people to keep a close eye on his every move, and he has not revealed any flaws. I have already grasped 80% of his current situation."
The dry white bone fingers gently tapped on the armrest of his chair twice, and no one knew what it meant. At this time, Meiying nodded quickly and said, "Yes, sir. I will tell you what I know now."
"The cultivation level of this patrol envoy is not low. According to the observations of these days, his cultivation level is at least above the second source. Moreover, there is a man in green beside him. This person is probably not a human, but a puppet cultivated by the patrol envoy. The puppet is very powerful and seems to be no less powerful than the patrol envoy himself."
"Moreover, the means of the patrol envoy and the puppet are both good. They often come and go without a trace, which makes our intelligence department unable to keep up. I have followed the patrol envoy several times in person. Once, to be ashamed, I actually lost him."
"Therefore, based on these circumstances, I judge that the real strength of this patrol envoy may be much more terrifying than the second source. In this way, the possibility that he is a high-level patrol envoy is very high!"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals present were moved. They knew that Phantom's judgment was probably correct, because the patrol envoy was a lone ranger sent by the Emperor to investigate the four directions, and cultivation was one of the most important criteria for judging the patrol envoy. After all, if the cultivation was not strong enough, it would not be enough to travel around the four directions, so how could one obtain all kinds of information and situations in the four directions for thirty-two days?
Therefore, Huan Yin's cultivation was so profound, and he also had an equally unfathomable puppet by his side. From the perspective of strength, he was fully qualified to become a senior patrol envoy. If Huan Yin had good luck and was a little closer to the Emperor, he would most likely be a senior patrol envoy.
The withered body finally sat up completely, and he looked at Phantom on the ground, and the ghost fire in his eye holes was even more intense.
The voice of the Phantom was heard again: "During this period of time, the patrol envoy did three things in total. The first thing was that he accidentally got close to a gangster named He Laowu. According to my judgment, the patrol envoy probably used this gangster to obtain some information in order to achieve his own goals. However, just when I wanted to find out the specific situation, I found that this gangster had some skills and could conduct counterintelligence. However, his ability is limited after all. As long as you give me some more time, I will be able to find out everything clearly." The dry head turned slightly, and the Phantom said hurriedly: "Your Excellency is right! People who come to the West for eight days all need to rely on information to survive. The patrol envoy must have contacted the gangster He Laowu because of this. The gangster is really not worth our investment. Energy, the patrol envoy used a gangster as a source of information, most likely it was just a mistake, and I will not continue to make a fuss. "
Seeing that Ku did not make any move, Meiying was obviously relieved, and then he continued: "The second thing is that the Sly family wanted to take over the land fairy in Buzhou Mountain. The patrol envoy got the news from somewhere, perhaps it was related to that person, and he eventually got involved. As for the result, the Sly family failed to obtain the land fairy, but we did not investigate whether the patrol envoy succeeded in seizing it. Because of that incident, that person seemed to have appeared. "
After Meiying finished speaking, an old general stood up, bowed to Ku, and asked Meiying: "Lord Meiying, who do you mean by 'that person'?"
"Shadow Lord!" Meiying's answer was very straightforward.
The faces of the generals changed for a while, and even Ku obviously moved after hearing this name.
"This Shadow Lord is a big variable in our Western Eight Days. If we tolerate him doing whatever he wants in our Western Eight Days for a long time, I don't know if he will cause any big trouble!" Finally, the old general said with some worry.
Another general added: "Now, there is one more variable, that is the patrol envoy. If the two of them get entangled, it will be difficult to deal with!"
There was a "crackling" sound of bones being crushed from the withered body. The phantom shook on the ground for a while, as if it was very frightened. Then, she said quickly: "Sir, that Shadow Lord... that Shadow Lord really has some tricks. But... but I promise that I will find him out within a year at most!"
Ku didn't say anything more, so Phantom took a break before continuing: "The third thing that the Patrol Envoy did was that he and the puppet went to two different mission cities to be mercenaries at the same time to earn fairy jade. The Patrol Envoy seemed to be in short supply of fairy jade, so he completed the mission very quickly, and with his good strength, he completed it very easily."
"But, I found that the results of his and the puppet's missions were not ideal. According to my investigation results, they should have completed them successfully, but for some reason, they didn't get paid again and again. We want to investigate the reason, but... I am incompetent, and there seems to be a master at work, and we haven't found it yet."
After the voice fell, Ku, who was sitting high at the head and tail, stood up suddenly, scaring Phantom below and quickly shrank into the corner of the military tent.
"I will check it right away. Please don't be angry, sir!" After saying that, the curtains of the military tent fluttered gently, and the black shadow on the ground rushed out in panic.
